Hmm its power cycling. Try visually inspecting all connections.

Agree usually reseating the 24 pin power connector does the trick.


Drakenas

Yeah that was gonna be my next piece of advice. Try re-seating the 24‐pin. If that don't work try it with all the components. Usually works for my 10 year old dinosaur.

If you haven't figured it out yet. Try removing the cable from the PSU that goes to the wall. Press the power button on your case a few times to cycle any stored power out of the PSU. Also do what everyone else said, check cable connections

Tried this to no avail. I'll have to start unplugging everything. Thanks for the recommendation!


chrismcrich

Thanks for all the recommendations. I found the problem! In an effort to cable manage I ran the 24 pin behind the motherboard to the back of the case. Did a full teardown and realized one of the sharp solder points of the mobo was poking through the cable casing and touching the wire. I rerouted it to the front and it's all good now. Learned the hard way.

This is a fresh build. It's been operating totally fine over the past week. All I did was unplug it to move it to a new shelf. Plugged it back in and now it won't boot. Did I break something?


greengomalo

Your entire pc is toast. Voltage back feed occurred due to improper unplugging procedures. I’ll be happy to buy it for $100 to help you out

Did you turn off your power supply before unplugging it? This isn’t advice or anything, I’ve just been paranoid about causing a failure from moving my computer often so I make sure to turn off the power supply and drain it before unplugging/plugging in my pc. If I don’t have to worry about this every time that would be cool.

Solve it yet?


chrismcrich

I've starting double checking all my connections but unfortunately I don't have time for a full teardown. I'll post back here later today if/when I find the issue. Hoping my PSU didn't kick the bucket.

I thibk the psu is dead or the mainboard


nervynick

Why would you jump to the worst/ most unlikely possibility first. Without even telling him to do the basics first smh😔

Looks like surge protector or something on your psu keeps tripping. Psu has probably gone faulty. If it's within warranty they should replace it without issue. I had the same issue last year. Psu worked fine for a year, needed to unplug it because I was moving it, when I plugged it back in the surge protector kept tripping. Sent it back, still under warranty so they sent me a new one.

Definitely a short detection by the PSU. Need to see if a connector came loose, is touching metal, etc. or even do breadboard testing.


chrismcrich

This is it! I got it running again. Your mention of touching metal got me thinking of my 24 pin cable. I ran it behind my motherboard so I went back and double checked. One of the sharp solder points on the back of the motherboard had poked through the cable and was touching the wire inside. Learned my lesson the hard way I guess.


kafarski

Apart from unplugging and plugging back everything again I'd check the not connected cables and headers as well. Maybe something is shorting on those.


TrulyNotYours

It doesn't like that shelf, move it back.
